This fic is probably your best objectively. Though my favorite is still your Luna and Celestia one. it has a nice flow and, as I said, the dialog feels more organic. I really do dig a lot of the little background details ad how this could a semi-plausable headcannon. it fits well with events.

>”Yes, Novo. We are going to make sure that the train towards Mount Aris goes with the fastest speed. The train network has improved a lot over these 4 years. We had broaden ourselves to places like the Crystal Empire and now, Cadence goes without effort from here and there. We have no problems at all in giving your train station. If we can have a little help from yours, we can build it in less than a month and use it for all over Equestria”

I liked this little detail. I'm a sucker from people trying to reconcile the old and new and the various inconsistencies within the show (something that has gotten much harder over the years in someways, easier i others). I personally used to think it was any creature with the gift of flight that would be able to go at least upper subsonic speed was what did the quick travel. such as how Celestia was able to arrive in her chariot i minutes but it taking a day to get to Caterlot by train. But even by season 4 it was unreasonable to assume that.

>Well. Apparently things have improved. It fills me from the inside to see my kingdom improving and that gives me the impulse to go on. About my family, you see that I am not holiday…we are broken. The Storm King is dead, the revenge has been made and now, there´s no guilty party for this situation. Nobody is to blame for this and I feel defeated admitting how we are now.”
This is may favorite line. It says a lot with so little. I know it's inspired from that song but it is rally interesting to think about as a situation. the pace after the storm king may have in someways been worse for her family there is more stress to change than in hiding in someway. She has no one to blame and she has to blame with the storm king out of the picture. Just a relationship that didn't work out. They just ended up drawn in different directions and were not vary compatible in the first place.

>If my reign has to endure, I see that I have to search for an external influence in this continent. We cannot remain the same in a cage hidden over there.
I love the way she is in this. Everything from her discomfort to her sober, though not quite negative outlook on things. Her uncertainty with Equestria.Her still not liking TS which could be an interestig fic in its own right . the seapony queen feels very real here. Though as for my rating I am uncertain. Objectively from a grammatical and structural point especially, this fic is superior in every way. Though out of my personal enjoyment I still enjoyed the other just a bit more. The question then becomes how should I rate such a fic? how much should be personal enjoyment and how much should take into account plot or motifs I enjoyed over other factors? For now I say 8.5/10, but it honestly feels unfair to do that, even if it is only a sight difference in score.
